My current team in Sword after reintroducing some personal favorites, including a couple from my previous playthrough and one from Legends Arceus (all of which was done after I had beaten the main game):
I made my own version a while ago, might as well post it here too. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Been a while since I posted a team (or anything, really) and some members have changed so I revamped it.
Ideally these would be the sets I'd use if you were to fight me. Lilligant apparently doesn't learn coverage for shit so I just made some moves up and Shadow Tag isn't released for Chandy but whatever.

Some of my favorite Pokémon:
(Both Porygon2 and Porygon-Z are great.)
(Both Porygon2 and Porygon-Z are great.)
Been thinking way too much about this. I have way too many Pokemon to fit onto one card, but I've made my best attempt to capture my favorites.
If this team had a legendary, it would either be Kyogre in Primarina's slot, or a Shaymin in Roserade's slot.

Blaziken w/ Blazikenite
Ability: Speed Boost
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Speed
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Flare Blitz
- High Jump Kick
- Thunder Punch
My favorite Pokemon in the whole game, ever since the release of Pokemon Sapphire all those years ago. Also served me very well as an event Pokemon in my initial run of XY.
========================
Primarina w/ Primarinium Z (or Choice Specs)
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Speed
Modest Nature
- Sparkling Aria
- Moonblast
- Ice Beam
- Scald
The Alola Starter trio is probably my favorite overall starter trio. Plus I wanted a Z-move user. Did a great job for the team in Pokemon Sun.
=========================
Roserade w/ Black Sludge
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Speed
Timid Nature
- Sleep Powder
- Spikes
- Giga Drain
- Sludge Bomb
Gotta finish that Fire-Water Grass core eh? I've always loved the design of Roserade. Served as an absolutely devastating special attacker in my first Diamond Playthrough.
===========================
Aerodactyl w/ Focus Sash
Ability: Unnerve
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Speed
Jolly Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Rock Blast
- Earthquake
- Taunt
I got into competitive battling in DPP OU, where Aerodactyl served as an excellent lead. In game, I had an Aerodactyl in my first run of XY, so that was pretty neat!
I'm super tempted to put Rhyperior here instead. But I also want a flying Pokemon for the team.
==============================
Porygon2 w/ Eviolite
Ability: Trace
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Calm Nature
- Tri Attack
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam
- Teleport/Recover
Cyber duck is cute. Also gives a more defensive backbone to the team. One of these days I need to use this in an in game team.
==============================
Scizor w/ Choice Band
Ability: Technician
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Speed
Adamant Nature
- Bullet Punch
- U-Turn
- Superpower
- Pursuit
Back when Gold and Silver initially released, I had an old magazine with the pictures of the new Pokemon. By far the most interesting was Scizor, this awesome evolution of Scyther. Sadly, because it was a trade evolution I had not really used it for many years, until my most recent HG/SS run where it rocked the house. Ah the joys of having two 3DS systems...
On a side note wow, I had to go pretty far back to DPP to find a Choice Band Scizor. I never knew CB Scizor fell off so hard.

This is mine. It's not the best, but I tried the best with my photoshop skills.
